The helmet sports a gloss finish over reflective paint giving a nice depth to the graphics. Since its inception in 2003, the RF-1000 has enjoyed great success, but that didnt stop SHOEIs world-class development team from throwing out the molds to build a helmet from scratch. Shoei is pleased to deliver the finest sport-touring helmets that money can buy. The groundbreaking Shoei RF-1100 Helmets are at the intersection of aggressive styling and unrivaled attention to detail. The evolution of perfection is once again met.

This is my second shoei. I've owned HJC, Scorpion, and Shoei. I will say this is one of the best helmets that i've owned. Super comfortable (i wear a size small in all) and good amount of air flow. The rides a little loud, but way quieter than my HJC and Scorpion. Got the chrome mirror face shield. So far i'm in love the with helmet, feel confident riding in it.

Pros: Stylish, Light weight, Bang for your buck, DOT/SNELL

Cons: A little loud (but its suppose to be so when you take it to the tracks you can hear other riders...plus i personally dont like a helmet thats toooo quiet...makes me feel like im not riding a bike...and we all know what happens when you think you're not riding a bike...)

Puma 1000 v3 Boots The 1000v3 boot was developed with the help of Grand Prix riders and is a pro-level boot suited for any kind of road-racing activity due to its improved safety components. Features: Intelligent Safety: The Ghost Doctor protection device has been designed after the medically defined angles of no return, beyond which you would suffer from serious ankle injury. It limits the movement range in all four directions and becomes active when the ankle reaches a dangerous angle, making it an intelligent protection device thats there only when you need it most Increased Protection: The Exo Low has a 360 degree cockpit construction that wraps under the heel, maximizing stability and increasing lateral impact protection Improved Cushioning: A small cushioning structure is built into the lower portion of the Exo Low to provide vertical impact protection in the event of a high-speed crash The third generation 1000v3 benefits from ongoing evolutional change. The 1000v3 features flexible nylon toe sliders, a Bifit footbed with cut outs to improve flexibility in the forefoot, more flexible lining for easy step in/out, and modifications to the exo-low and calf protector to make the boot more able to withstand the rigors of competition

Hey guys just bought the size 8US. I wear a size 8.5US on regular shoes with 2-3 CM of space. These are a tight fit, but i suppose they aren't broken in yet. I love the confidence it provides me when i'm riding. BTW I didn't get the vented version.
